Yesterday we went to our friends' house for a playdate. Scarlett was acting kind of cranky before we left, but I thought a morning of playing with her girlfriends would perk her up. I was so very, very wrong. Poor thing clung to me the whole time and had at least two heavy sobbing episodes. She didn't want to play with the girls and only seemed comfortable when she was alone with me. It was strange. The thing that would upset her most was when one of the girls would scream or cry. It makes me so sad for her. All I want is for my little boo to be happy. I'm hoping it's just a phase that will eventually pass. Until then I've decided not to leave the house with Scarlett ever again. It's just not worth it. Just kidding. By the way, about thirty seconds after the above picture was taken, one of the girls got a little too close to Scarlett causing her to cry. But those thirty seconds before that were great! Baby steps, people, baby steps.
